I use Continental glue in the small yellow tubes on my tubular wheels and just follow the instruction on the tube. The instructions only ask for something like 15 minutes between layers of glue on the rim and tires and I wait about 24 hours before riding the finished (fully inflated) wheels. No problem with this method so far, even with less than perfect rim bedding from my cheap, slightly lumpy base taped Vittoria Rally tires.
I think you should be OK as long as you follow the glue manufacturer's instructions.
BTW, pre-stretching the tires by mounting them inflated on the rims without glue really helps make final installation much easier.
